* Numerical [[variable (programming)|variables]], including <code>A</code> - <code>Z</code> and <code>[[theta|θ]]</code> (theta).  These allow [[real number]]s or [[complex number]]s (implemented as pairs of reals) to be stored in [[floating point]] format.  Values may range from 1<small>E</small>-99 to 1<small>E</small>99 with 14 digits of accuracy,<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://education.ti.com/html/eguides/discontinued/computer-software/EN/SDK-TI-83-Developer-Guide_EN.pdf |title=TI-83 Plus Developer Guide |date=May 28, 2002 |publisher=Texas Instruments Incorporated |edition=3rd |pages=22–23 |language=en |archive-date=March 19, 2025 |access-date=August 15, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250319142345/https://education.ti.com/html/eguides/discontinued/computer-software/EN/SDK-TI-83-Developer-Guide_EN.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> although only 10 digits are usually displayed to users.  The limit of 27 variables, however, may be expanded through the use of lists, matrices, and manipulation of integer notation.  A list or matrix can be used to contain unique real variables which can be individually referenced.  Integers can be concatenated into a single real variable by delineating them as the integer and decimal halves of a real number; each half is then accessed independently via the iPart and fPart commands.  Variables with binary values can be stored as a single integer through conversion between base 2 and base 10.
* [[String (computer science)|Strings]], including <code>Str0</code> - <code>Str9</code>.  These may store any number of characters or even function names, as long as there is available memory. They can be evaluated as an expression with the <code>expr()</code> function, which is found in the catalog.
* Lists, including <code>L<small>1</small></code> - <code>L<small>6</small></code>, with the ability to create additional ones.  These are essentially [[one-dimensional]] [[array data type|arrays]] used to store a real or complex number into each of their [[array data structure|elements]].  The [[dimension]] of a list, its number of elements, may range from 1 to 999, although [[available]] [[Random-access memory|memory]] may be a [[limiting factor]].  When a list's dimension is set lower than it had been, elements at the end are cut off.  When set higher, extra elements at the end are filled with zeros.  Dimensions are set by storing a valid number into the <code>dim(</code> of the list name.  The default lists are named L<small>1</small>–L<small>6</small>, but custom lists can be created.  This is done by setting dimension of a list referenced with the <small>L</small> [[lexical analysis#Token|token]] in the <code>Lists</code>, followed by a name ranging from 1 to 5 [[character (computing)|characters]] that begins with an uppercase letter <code>A</code> - <code>Z</code> and <code>[[theta|θ]]</code>.  Individual elements of lists can be accessed by placing the element number in [[Bracket#Parentheses|parentheses]] after the list name.
* [[Matrix (mathematics)|Matrices]], including <code>[A]</code> - <code>[J]</code>.  Their elements are subject to the same restrictions as lists.  Their dimensions may be defined up to 99x99 elements, although, again, available memory will limit this.  It is not possible to create user-defined matrices, so only the ten built in ones may be utilized.
* Equation variables, including <code>Y<small>0</small></code> - <code>Y<small>9</small></code>, <code>r<small>1</small></code> - <code>r<small>6</small></code>, and <code>u</code>, <code>v</code>, <code>w</code>.  These are essentially strings which store equations. They are evaluated to return a value when used in an expression or program. Specific values, (constant, C) can be plugged in for the independent variable (X) by following the equation name (dependent, Y) by the constant value in parentheses. In the example below,  "(4)" is used (for no particular reason). (<code>Y<small>1</small></code>(4) would return the value of <code>Y<small>1</small></code> at X=4)

Data types that cannot be directly manipulated include:
* Pictures (<code>Pic0</code> - <code>Pic9</code>)
* Background (<code>Image0</code> - <code>Image9</code>)
* Programs (<code>prgm</code>)
* Graph databases (<code>GDB0</code> - <code>GDB9</code>)
* Color (<code>BLUE</code>, <code>RED</code>,..., <code>GRAY</code>) (15 colors in total)
